Need a good breathable waterproof boot

[Adam Gibbs]

Im looking at getting a new pair of light hunting boots. I currently use Danner RATS that are lined with Gore-Tex. They dont breath all that great and have a large footprint that makes them kind of clunky. Breathability is key to me though, as my feet sweat...a lot. I havent been hunting out west yet, but do a fair amount of hiking into some spots for deer here. I typically change my socks once I get to my spot so my feet dont get as cold from being wet. Id like to try and minimize the need to do that, as well as end up with a lighter boot as those Danners are heavy. What would you recommend? Is it possible to get something decent around $200?

Lowa Zephyr GTX. They are proving to be very good at breathing while remaining weatherproof and comfortable. They have certainly outperformed and outlasted my Salomon GTX 4 D's.
